As the fiercest Grotto boss outside of Legacy Bosses, Greygnarl is a truly dangerous foe. Combining the power of three actions per turn with highly damaging abilities, Greygnarl is a very difficult boss. Not only does he have access to the extremely powerful [[Magic Burst]], but he can also incapacitate your party members with [[Raging Roar]]. Also noteworthy is his ability to temporarily raise his [[Attack]], [[Defense]], and [[Agility]], as well as preventing the party from matching his stat boosts by casting [[Disruptive Wave]]. Luckily, unlike members of the [[??? Family]] who have no weapon weaknesses, Greygnarl can be hit for extra damage by [[sword]]s and the powerful [[Dragon Slash]].

* it should be noted that before Greygnarl is fought as a grotto boss he mentions something about "Styrmling" being the third dragon (the first two being himself and Barbarus). This could possibly be similar to "Stellestria" where as the conductor had a past life as something different. Interestingly enough though this is never explored further.
